Brazilian Avocado Shake

Recipe #121338 | 6 min | 5 min prep | add private note

By: Chef #204556
May 10, 2005

A friend of mine got this recipe from her Brazilian friend who says that this shake is very popular during the summer in Brazil. It sounds kind of gross because you might associate avocados with non-sweet foods but I promise it tastes like candy. It's so good!

    This was so good. I am on an anti-candida diet so I made the following substitutions: Stevia for sugar, plain yogurt for milk. I also added a few drops of vanilla. I will make this healthy version as a morning breakfast.

    Yum! In Brazil, no one associates avocados with salad or guacamole. There, avocado is a fruit! You can make this thick to eat by the spoonful: peel and cut one large,ripe avocado in chunks, and throw it it the blender. Gradually add sweet condensed milk while you blend the avocado, until desired consistency. You will use approximately 1/2 can of sweet condensed milk to one large avocado. Optional: add a few drops of vanilla extract to the cream. Both the avocado and the sweet condensed milk should be chilled. Serve immediately as a yummy dessert. Serves 4. Oh, and I forgot to say, this version is called Creme de Abacate (Avocado Cream). It is sinfully delicious.

    I thought 3 TB sugar was too much for 1/2 avocado so I used a whole one and increased the milk a little bit. Following a Brazilian friend's suggestion I tried adding powdered milk to it and it was delish.
